"We can make it through to see the morning light. This could be our milestone"  To start... FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS A MI PADRE! ÉL ESTA EL MEJOR PADRE EN EL MUNDO!  Ya tiempo por los traslados?  Drum roll please....   Im staying in Ontatio East! This makes 4 here y no se como me siento... Pero! My adorable STL, Hermana Vergara, who is a native speaker, is my new comp! Im so excited!! She is the cutest and I cant wait to serve with her. Shes not an STL anymore so I wont have to do all the exchanges nor splits, but its gonna be a fun transfer! Were losing our cute canadiense. Shes headed to Temecula :(. Hna Franklin is headed back to Riverside. And Sister Harper is stuck with me for at least another  It has been some crazy, long couple weeks! Everyone was intimidated by this transfer cuz it was 7 weeks but honestly it flew by super fast haha. But at the same time, it also dragged on and I am super ready for change!  This past transfer we did a little district v...

  "No habrá manera, mi rayo de luna, que tú te vallas." Guau! An email antes mediodia? Ijole! You must think I'm crazy! Maybe i am... The past couple weeks, we have been having CRAZY wind storms which leads to power outages, lots of palm leaves in the street, tumbleweeds blown into bushes on the sides of the roads, and quite a few totaled vehichles from people not knowing how to stop at stop lights/stop signs. (Luckily, my car is not one of them)  It's also January so literally EVERYONE is sick which has honestly sucked because we had so many lessons planned this week and not even half of them happened because everyone kept canceling.  I have never had to do so many splits in a week. We pretty much did splits every single day this week. It was crazy. Our poor hna Larsen has had these crazy migraines for 2ish weeks or longer but they still schedule lessons so if we dont have lessons for the night, we get to go to Ontario West and teach some lessons with hna Vergara!  ...

  "Cuz you're a king and I'm your lionheart"   This week was a crazy busy week! Looking back at it, there was only 1 day we did NOT leave the zone     whoops. We spent almost everyday in Riverside or Ontario West between Zone conference and STL exchanges.  We were supposed have DCM on Tuesday but because we dont live with elders, no one told the sisters so we showed up but no one else showed...   our District Leader finally texted and said no DCM so that was fun.  We did a skills conference for zone conference this transfer and it was so fun! We had 6 rotations and we went around the trainings with our zone! This transfer we have been focusing on memeber work and keeping the memebers involved so our zone conference was centered around figuring out ways to get our members involved! Our zone leaders were in one of the rotations and their training was my one of my favorites. I have to say that Sister Hendricksons rotation was my favorite th...

 "Ive been for a walk on a winters day. I'd be safe and warm if i was in LA" .... California dreaming on such a winter day Sorry, we deal with humor here...  Saturday morning, as I was getting ready for the day, I turned on a couple conference talks and one of the talks that I listened to was "take up your cross" given by Élder Ulisses Soares in Ocober 2019. I would like to challenge yall to read this talk and send me an email of what yall liked! Por favor  One of my favorite parts of this talk says. "as we continually strive to overcome our challenges, God will bless us with the gifts of faith to be healed and of the working of miracles. He will do for us what we are not capable of doing for ourselves." Although it may be a challenge to take upon us our cross, God knows we can do it! We have some amazing cheerleaders on the side helping us carry our cross. I think of Ephraims rescue when the angels are shown pushing the handcart while the pioneers are...
